“Humph, someone certainly is too audacious, but I wonder who has the gall to set their sights on Xiao Xi, as if the Su Family is so easily bullied!” Su Wenyue’s face was as cold as frost, clearly infuriated by the idea that the people from the Main House were shameless enough to target Xiao Xi, and Han Hao, that ingrate, even deigned to disdain Xiao Xi’s status, wanting her to become a concubine, a truly intolerable notion, such people are simply asking to be put in their place.
The Old lady flinched and felt fearful under Su Wenyue’s icy gaze, but she thought that if she backed down this time, it would be harder to control the Second House in the future. Besides, even if Miss Su is from the Su Family, she’s now part of the Han Family; could it be that she’s trying to turn the world upside down?
“What’s all this about the Su Family? The moment you married Brother Yu you became part of our Han Family, and you must obey me,” the Old lady said. Noticing Su Wenyue’s expression grow colder, she felt unsure and turned her attention toward Han Jincai and Mrs. Yang.
“Second Brother, I want a clear answer from you now; will you give me the girl or not? Brother Hao is your nephew, is a servant girl more important than your own nephew, don’t you care about your nephew’s needs at all? If you don’t agree to this today, then you are no son of mine.” The Old lady had always used this tactic to deal with her sons, and it had always worked well, proving easy to apply even now.
“Mother, I’ve said before that Xier is already redeemed and not a servant of our family. Even if she wasn’t redeemed, she’s from the Su Family, so we have no say over her. You should stop setting your sights on her. Brother Hao is not young anymore; don’t set your mind on such unsound practices. What concubine? We’re from a low-status civilian family; where do we get the notion of taking concubines? We should properly find a daughter-in-law instead of being so arrogant and adopting the bad habits of Wealthy Families.”
Han Jincai, even with his good nature, felt irritated by Han Hao’s words: “Brother Hao, what nonsense are you spouting? In this lifetime, all I, Han Jincai, want is to live a good life with my wife and children, never entertaining such improper thoughts. I advise you to be more down-to-earth; don’t daydream about pointless things. Learn a trade that can earn money and support yourself, living an honest life is the proper way.”
When Han Hao heard Han Jincai speak these words, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Already influenced by his Old lady and Mrs. Wang to look down upon the Second House and not even regarding Han Jincai as his Second Uncle, he saw the people from the Second House as beneath them. How could he possibly heed Han Jincai’s words, especially since they clearly carried a reproachful tone, ruining his plans and thoroughly objectionable?
“Second Uncle, mind your own business. It’s correct that your Second House is from a low-status civilian country family, but our Main House is different. Don’t belittle others; I am just considering taking a concubine, how is that walking an unrighteous path? I think you don’t dare because you simply lack the ability,” Han Hao retorted.
Han Jincai’s temper flared at Han Hao’s insinuation: “What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Hao? All I, Han Jincai, want in this life is to have a good life with my wife and children, and I’ve never had those inappropriate thoughts. I urge you to be more conscientious; instead of constantly entertaining unrealistic ideas, learn a skill that can make money and take care of yourself.
Han Hao, seeing Han Jincai’s authoritative stance, was extremely annoyed and yet, since Han Jincai was indeed his Uncle, he couldn’t outright object even when he was being admonished. Deep inside, however, he was truly unwilling to comply, so he naturally sought help from the Old lady.
